I thought Ms Azzam made two particularly interesting points. One that the Muslim Brotherhood have survived decades of oppression in Egypt by being politically astute. And the other is that while the generals are the force of reaction in Egypt, Islamists are the party of political change. They want democracy, transparency, competence and alliances with the West - because they see that as the route to success.

I checked just now that the allied Freedom and Justice Party won half the votes in Egypt. They definitely have broad support.
